They'll only do a male/male relationship once the fandom collectively gets mad at them for not doing one for so long, just so they can go, "This is what the fans wanted" and avoid any puritans harassing them by shifting the blame.
They have tried to claim they try to operate without the fans influencing the show, but I never take stuff like that at face value and look at their actions.
Since, you know, actions speak louder than words.
Think about how quickly Cofi X Chee happened in tandem with the fandom's interest in it.
Course you'll have people point out Fwy and Iscream happened way faster, but they'll always ignore the fact it was blatantly spelled out by Slushi that it was, "romance" upon them meeting.
Hence why I say "tandem with the fandom".
They tested the waters, saw the fandom approved, and went for it.

This is how I feel they're operating.
I kinda hope they aren’t operating like this. To me it kinda feels the show is being controlled by the fans.
